Purpose

Increase the visibility of the work of both ASTR and the award recipient within a wider professional context.

Eligibility

Applications may come from individuals, organizations, institutions (or a combination). Applications will be considered from any nation. ASTR co-sponsored events receive the
endorsement of ASTR; however, ASTR is not able to offer organizational or administrative assistance to awardees. Events of regional, national, or international significance in the format of conferences, colloquia, symposia, summits, etc. will be considered provided that they align with ASTR's purpose, namely, to foster scholarship on theatre and
performance, either historical or contemporary, with respect to the US or abroad. Although applicants may apply for funds, the co-sponsorships will normally take the form of an endorsement without funding. In exceptional cases where monetary support is awarded, such support will be capped at $500, and applicants should emphasize forms of in-kind
support.

Application: A complete application consists of:

A 1500-word rationale and description of the event;

Evidence of sponsorship from any extant organizations or institutions;

A draft program including participants' names and/or event descriptions;

A budget with explanation of applicable costs

Applications are considered twice annually by the Executive Committee of ASTR.
